Falcons crash out of Olympics

The dream of the Super Falcons to play at the summer Games have been punctured by Equatorial Guinea, who on Sunday defeated the Nigerians 2-1 in the return leg match in Bata.

They progressed 3-2 on aggregate.

The Falcons, who despite shooting into the lead through an Ngozi Okoli’s first-half strike, were unable to defend their lead, conceding two goals and crashing out 3-2 on aggregate, as their Olympic dream faded.
